I got this CD as a gift back in the mid 1990's. It is raining like crazy and I felt like some good jazz music. Never played it. It was still wrapped in plastic until today.

It is a compilation of remakes of jazz standards. Some Duke Ellington, Burt Bacharach, Gershwin, here is a list of songs.

"Black Is the Color" (Traditional folk song) - 3:53
"A House Is Not a Home" (Burt Bacharach, Hal David) - 4:57
"Come Rain or Come Shine" (Harold Arlen, Johnny Mercer) - 5:07
"Invitation" (Bronisław Kaper) - 4:21
"Summertime" (George Gershwin, Ira Gershwin, DuBose Heyward, Dorothy Heyward) - 6:49
"Nica's Dream" (Horace Silver) - 5:20
"Stormy Weather" (Harold Arlen, Ted Koehler) - 5:01
"Django" (John Lewis) - 3:45
"My One and Only Love" (Guy Wood, Robert Mellin) - 6:12
"Mood Indigo" (Duke Ellington, Barney Bigard, Irving Mills) - 4:26

Nice job Joe and the gang for this great compilation of jazz music. Perfect for a rainy day.

Remember him from the Jazz Crusaders days, but haven't listened to him in a good long while. Might just have to check the album out!
